Gorth

I tried out something called jackbox games the other night. One friend was hosting it and sharing her screen via teamviewer, the rest of us using our mobile phones as remote controllers. It was fun. I really am awful at 'drawful' though

Define "better"?.... Well, at least it works in a place like Denmark. They currently have 9 parties in parliament. I do remember from my childhood and teenage years that there used to be quite a few more. I can remember at least 5 parties from top of my head not on this list. It has happened that the major parties actually formed governments across the "left/right" divide (something that might currently be unthinkable in the US) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_political_parties_in_Denmark Is it efficient? Probably not. But, it seems to work. Many views gets represented and extremes generally gets avoided. Mind you, haven't been keeping tabs on the old country the last 17-18 years.

Based on bad memory, but iirc. he didn't even want this fight in the first place until he felt encouraged by a number of republicans, after which it became this all or nothing, poorly thought out (typical for Trump) bar brawl with the democrats and partial government shutdowns. It's like the fight is more important to him than the cause and the results.

More Guild Wars 2.... "The Desolation". One of those days where I'm quite happy without the full virtual reality experience. Those wastes and boiling pits are sulfur. Anyone remember from chemistry class what boiling sulfur smells like? Yeah, the rotten egg stench would probably have made my nostrils bleed!

Deleted a few posts. I would recommend commenting on the subject and the ideas, not on fellow posters.

I was a late comer to PC My first email address was indeed gorth@soemthinguniversity.dk in 1991 but my computer at home for many years (and my first internet capable computer) was ye olde Commodore Amiga. I did get TCP/IP for my old Commodore 64 too, but never got to use it. The Amiga however was active on the net until it got retired. It was actually Fallout (the official demo that got released) and Tomb Raider that was to blame for that. Couldn't run properly on the PC Emulator I had I *think* my first PC was a Pentium II that I built. Edit: I had email address at uni before that, but it was the first with my old gamer name (Gorth as in, the chosen one, saviour of the universe, slayer of Doomdark etc. is from around 1982)

8.7 million views in less than 2 months. Not bad for a non triple a title I guess

Yeah, those planes had both a left and a right wing... Edit: That's it, I need more sleep. Dang heat is starting to get to me

Experiencing "global warming" up close and personal I think it's going to be one of those days today indeed. 35 degrees when I got out of bed this morning (that's 95f for North Americans). Forecast says 45-46 in the afternoon (113-115f). I saw pictures from South Australia where people were baking cookies on rocks outside their home.

I'll admit my infatuation with the BBQ (A "Baby Weber" special edition) is because it's practical. Little cleaning required afterwards and no food smell lingering indoors for the next 6-12 hours. Most meats (steak, fish, chicken) can be cooked in 10 minutes. I usually give the fish (I love fresh salmon sides) a bit longer. I do have a "flat" plate for things like fish and vegetables (grilled pumpkin is good). Potatoes... well, they do need almost a full hour at low heat. Wrapped in aluminium foil with a bit of olive oil and herbs, served with chicken, creme fraiche, corn or whatever you like to add for flavour.

Were your parents by any chance French? I remember working on a project outside Paris for a while.... the local places seemed obsessed with boiling otherwise perfectly good meat Meat belongs on a BBQ dammit!

Taken with the built in function. My little Asura engineer guy feels a bit... lost in the jungle?

Thanks Fenixp, I'll give that a (screen)shot on Dosbox I did try ShadowPlay (I have an nVidia card), but it was too awkward and too cumbersome to use with it's default shortcuts. I might have to see if something can be done about that though. Ideally it would be one background program fits all purposes.

Hmm... I think I need to go hunting for some "screenshot" software that is easy to use. I love it when games have support for the Print Screen key, but lots of especially older games don't. Open to recommendations (works with Dosbox and old GoG games is an added bonus).

And here I thought all Americans loved Trump and they (except the filthy commies democrats of course, it's a known fact they hate America, guns and freedom and democracy and whatever) would happily sacrifice everything to benefit from the protection of a medieval style wall! Now, if it started to affect his own businesses, then who knows, compromise (actual compromise) might be a possibility?

All good things has an end... only sausages have two! (badly translated from a German song) More gaming experiences here

Start of the old thread End of the old thread Several, lesser known titles. If nothing else, just to see what it was I actually bought Two that I remember from top of my head (from the last 24 hours) "RWBY" and "Don't Starve Together" (edit: played quite a bit of Borderlands 2: The Pre-sequel" in coop mode earlier in the week with two friends)

Politics... one of humanity's never ending tragedies. More politics here

Hum, fried Camembert is properly enjoyed with lingonberry jam. I should stop watching old Star Trek... I just read that as klingonberry

Start of the old thread End of the old thread Funny things about old lyrics... give them a few decades and they might become relevant! "Anarchy for the U.K. It's coming sometime and maybe I give a wrong time, stop a traffic line Your future dream has sure been seen through"

Since I live within easy walking distance of my work place, I often go home for some quick and dirty lunch. By quick, I mean 180 seconds, aka 3 minutes. A truly multinational meal too Slices of Australian toast bread (the first two minutes is waiting for the toaster), adding a generous layer of imported Danish Blue Cheese and some imported Canadian Maple Syrup on top. Salty and Sweet both ticked off the list! One of the few things I know that is more tasty requires too much time and equipment I don't have (Deep fried Camembert with blueberry jam on toast)

The Maginot Line was such a success in keeping the Germans out of France

I think you guys might just have dodged a bullet in 1776
